Transport Manager Northern Ireland: Edwin Poots confirms attendance

14th October 2009

The Minister's attendance comes as proposals for extending O licence legislation in Northern Ireland to the own account sector are once again being actively considered.

The seminar features a key session from the Driver and Vehicle Agency on current enforcement developments and compliance standards in Northern Ireland. FTA understands that Graduated Fixed Penalties are likely to be introduced in Northern Ireland in the first quarter of 2010. The system for joint recognition of offences between UK and the Republic of Ireland is expected to be in place by December 2009/January 2010.

Members of the Backhouse Jones team will also be speaking at the event and we look forward to seeing you there.
